Im complaning - about the Dollar General

mckayleesmom wrote: Am I the only one that thinks the Dollar General store is a joke anymore? They need to change the name to the General Store cause nothing in there is a dollar anymore...Remember when almost everything was a dollar? The other day I was in there and saw something and it was $1. 79,,,,First they raise the prices,,then they put in half dollars and now they are including cents....What is up with that...We have a dollar tree in the mall with better stuff for nothing over a dollar. And we are getting a big dollar type store nearby too. It use to be an office max, so it will be huge. I just think they need to either change the name or go back to how they started. I can get my stuff from walmart now for cheaper. Yes that is correct. I have found tons of stuff in there that I can get for cheaper at walmart. Their whole concept is out the window.

~CrazieMama~ replied: I agre with you. There is a Dollar General in my town and they are a rip off. I have found alot of things cheaper in Wal Mart.

mckayleesmom replied: Ya they are trying to copy Target.....Remember when Target was simalar to Walmart? I use to shop at Target...I don't really anymore because it got so outrageously overpriced. Its a Conspiracy I tell you...

~CrazieMama~ replied: Yep, WalMart is almost as cheap as a thrift store on some items. That is a shame.

mckayleesmom replied: My Example.....

Baby outfit at the dollar store.....5 dollars


A cuter outfit with a matching hat at Walmart.......4 dollars.....

~CrazieMama~ replied: Yes, I have seen that. That is awful!!!! We should write to Dollar General and tell them that their prices are not cheap at all. They area rip off.

MommyToAshley replied: I don't think we have a Dollar General around here, or if we do, I don't know where it is. But, I LOVE the $1 Store!

mckayleesmom replied: I love anything for a dollar...just not 1.50 2.50...and so on at a DOLLAR GENERAL....We are now going to have 2 stores where nothing is over $1..So they are probably going to go out of business. Raising prices is where they are screwing up because now other companies are trying to beat them by starting dollar only stores....and everybody goes there...They have better stuff at the Dollar Tree only anyways,,,they have awsome makeup and baby stuff too...and its not all broken and used looking like at the Dollar General.

Maddie&EthansMom replied: Our Dollar General is nasty. I never go in there, but I love Dollar Tree. It is so clean and I think they have better stuff, too. Dollar General has gone up on their prices. It's not worth it for me to go in there.

ediep replied: we have $1 store here, but they are pretty junky. They don't have much that I can use.
I am addicted to Target and Walmart

yep I agree its not a a great deal as it used to be, I still find a few things here and there at good deals but not often.

Kirstenmumof3 replied: Wow that is terrible where I am we have several Dollar Stores and I find them to be a rip off as well! I can never find one thing that is a dollar!
